21 Kuba ekubeni kaloku kungomntu ukufa, kukwangomntu ukuvuka kwabafileyo.
22 Kuba, njengokuba kuye uAdam bafa bonke, ngokunjalo nakuye uKristu baya kudliswa ubomi bonke:
23 elowo ke kolwakhe uluhlu; intlahlela inguKristu, kamva abakaKristu ekufikeni kwakhe;
24 kwandule ke ukubakho isiphelo, xa athe wabunikela ubukumkani kuye uThixo uYise, xa athe wabubhangisa bonke ubulawuli, nalo lonke igunya, namandla.
25 Kuba umelwe yena kukuthi alawule, ade azibeke phantsi kweenyawo zakhe zonke iintshaba.
26 Olokugqibela utshaba oluya kubhangiswa kukufa;
27 kuba izinto zonke wazithobela phantsi kweenyawo zakhe. Ke xa athi, Izinto zonke zithotyiwe, kuyabonakala ukuba àkabalwa lowo wazithobela phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto.
